“Salem insiders call our budget crisis a revenue problem. Not
so. Oregon has a jobs problem and government is addicted to
spending. This must change. The threat of another dip in this
recession, new regulations and fees, unknown health care
reform costs, and tax schemes erode the ability of businesses
in Oregon to start re-hiring.

By focusing on the right end of the equation – jobs – including
the reigning in of government spending and opposing new
tax hikes, we can stop hindering Oregon’s farms and businesses.
Merely increasing government audits is not enough.

I’ll continue standing with you for responsible government
spending, opposing higher taxes with a firm commitment to
get Oregon back to work. I respectfully ask for your vote.”
Vic Gilliam, State Representative
